The 23-year-old shooting star played his first full year as a professional in 2022.

- Linn Grant has been responsible for a competitive season and a breakthrough year in a class of its own.

She will finish 2022 ranked No. 26 in the world, which is even more exceptional if you consider that she got there without regularly playing on the biggest women's tour, the LPGA Tour, says Eric Franzén, editor-in-chief of the magazine Svensk Golf, in a press release.

The award for Golfer of the Year has been awarded since 1966 by a jury consisting of Svensk Golf's editorial staff and selected representatives from the Association of Golf Journalists, the Swedish Golf Association and the PGA.

Grant donates the winning sum of SEK 10,000 to Rya Golf Club.
